What role does communication play in nursing barriers?
Effective communication is crucial in nursing, yet it is often hampered by various factors. These include language barriers, cultural differences, and the use of medical jargon that patients may not understand. Furthermore, poor communication within the healthcare team can result in misunderstandings, incomplete patient information, and ultimately, suboptimal patient outcomes. Training in communication skills and the use of technology, such as electronic health records, can help mitigate these issues.
